New Arrivals

Had the chance this week to put in some work on my latest Peter Pig SCW arrivals. Over the last few days I've succeeded in getting my first batch of Civil Guards finished. They're not a very complicated unit to paint once you've decided what colour green they have to be.All the fun comes from the rather silly hats.

I've set up my table for a game of RFCM's "Bayonet and Ideology" on Monday evening, trains permitting, so I've popped a couple of bases on the table for a photo call, showing them stopping a car to search for Anarchists. or similar.

"So, 'comrade' where did you get the car from?"

"If we hide here in this ill-lit photograph we'll be able to surprise the Reds!"

About Me

I have been a wargamer as long as I can remember, pretty much.
My interests spread pretty generally across the entire historical period. I mostly prefer to develop and use my own rules. As such I've been a member of Wargames Developments since the early 80's.
I do use commercially available rules and have a large collection, - many of which have been played. I've been fond of the RFCM approach from Peter Pig in the past, and I make a lot of use of Neil Thomas' rules. They always seem a good place to start.
